Country music's most influential figures are set to gather in Nashville for the prestigious 19th ACM Honors event. Hosted by Carly Pearce and Parker McCollum, the ceremony recognizes artists, songwriters, executives, and organizations that have made a lasting impact on the genre. This year's honorees include Eric Church, who will receive the ACM Lifting Lives Award for his philanthropic efforts, and Kacey Musgraves, who will be presented with the ACM Spirit Award for her fearless songwriting and artistic growth.
The ACM Poet's Award will be posthumously given to songwriter Brett James and The Carter Family, honoring their significant contributions to country music. Bill Anderson and Mike Curb will be recognized with the ACM Icon Award, while Leslie Fram will receive the ACM Lift Every Voice Award for her advocacy of underrepresented voices in the industry. Entertainment attorney Scott Zolke will be honored with the ACM Service Award.
The ACM International Award will be presented to the C2C: Country To Country festival for its role in expanding the genre's global reach, and Paramount+'s 'Landman' series will receive the ACM Film Award for its use of country and Americana music. The event will also celebrate Ella Langley as Artist-Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon as Songwriter of the Year, and other Studio Recording and Industry Award recipients.
Tickets for the event will be available for purchase starting June 26, with performers and presenters to be announced soon. The ACM Honors ceremony continues to be a night dedicated to honoring those who drive country music forward.
